UMBC Drops Local Tilt to Loyola

BALTIMORE - UMBC fell in a battle against local rival Loyola (Md.) on Tuesday night inside Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena, 60-57. 

The Retrievers raced out to a seven-point lead after the opening 10 minutes, posting their fourth 20-plus-point first quarter of the season. UMBC then held the Greyhounds to just six points in the second quarter, tied for the lowest single-quarter effort of the season thus far, as they built a 30-19 lead at the break. 

UMBC took its largest lead of the night with 8:24 to play in the third as Jade Tillman converted a pair of free throws to put UMBC ahead 34-21. Loyola would trim the deficit to six before Kennedy Austin drilled a corner three with 15 seconds left to send UMBC into the final quarter with a 45-36 lead. 

Alaina Williams scored on the opening possession of the fourth, once again pushing UMBC's lead to double figures. Loyola used a 13-3 run over the next five-plus minutes to pull within a point, but Tillman knocked down a massive three with 3:45 to play, pushing UMBC ahead 53-49. Tiara Bellamy would follow with a floater to put the Retrievers up six with 2:58 to play. 

Kimmie Hicks and Koi Sims drilled threes to tie the game with 1:32 remaining before Lex Therien gave the Greyhounds a lead they would not relinquish with 51 seconds left. 

Tillman paced UMBC with 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Austin added 10 points, while A. Williams contributed seven points and a team-high six rebounds. 

Carmen Yánez became the 16th player in program history to hand out 200 assists with a dime to Dagny Slomack for three in the opening quarter. 

UMBC is off for more than a week before returning to action on December 21 at American.
